Ejaculation Frequency and Risk of Prostate Cancer

I’m planning to reboot as long as I can to heal my severe PIED. My dick is small and tiny and it shrank one day over the course of a weekend, after masturbating and before that I was edging hardcore for days/weeks prior to that.

I hope it’s porn-induced.

 

Constantly stimulated as in how often, are we talking here?

 

It depends on the severity of arousal as well but i would say as an absolute limit if you're long term having no release whatsoever then limiting the accidental leakage of precum to once a week or ideally way less

Basically you just don't want to stimulate the systems involved in ejaculation without release everyday

Surprised no one brought these up before

 

So if I trigger my sexual arousal system without any ejaculatory release, it could start bringing on Prostate cancer?

So if I trigger my sexual arousal system without any sexual release a few times a day, I am sure to get prostrate cancer? Now I’m concerned.

 

No, what I mean is that long term (talking years or decades here) inflammation of the prostate will increase your risk generally, it's not a guarantee, I'm saying long term inflammation is a risk

 

Ooh gotcha. Sorry, I wasn't sure and pretty sure that I overreacted.

Still, I hope precum isn't detrimental to any reboot that heals the brain. Not that I want to be edging 24/7, but neither do I want to lead it to PMO. I fully understand the effects of edging.

 

I have not read the full article sorry, the bit about stimulation was just from my personal experience, having edged without release for hours everyday on and off for a year i developed intermittent prostate pain that went away once I quit, it was just a guess based on that and the logic that if you're not telling your prostate to produce fluid without release in theory there should be very little inflammation and therefore reduced risk. This theory does not take into account hormones such as DHT though

I'm sorry i don't have a source for the newspaper article

 

Don't fap if you feel it's affecting your life in a negative way. It's really not that complicated.

 

If you ask me these studies are complete bullshit. Too many unaccounted variables in them to have any statistical meaning.

" The researchers asked men to answer questions about how often they ejaculated. Then they tracked almost 32,000 of these men for 18 years.
The researchers found that guys who did it the most (at least 21 times a month) had about a 20% lower chance of prostate cancer, compared with those who did it less (4 to 7 times a month). That was true in several age groups."

My first problem with this "major" study (and all other I came across) is that it didn't measure or ponder all other known risk factors that can contribute to prostate cancer development:

1. inherited mutation of BRCA2 genes and Lynch syndrome
2. diet (red meat or high-fat dairy products, low fruits and vegetables intake and maybe calcium are all known risk factors)
3. obesity
4. smoking
5. chemical exposures (especially estrogen-like compounds, including monomeric bisphenol A (BPA))
6. prostatitis (through inflammation of the prostate gland)
7. gonorrhea or chlamydia infections (through inflammation again)
8. vasectomy
9 sedentary lifestyle

Study that ponder or equates all these factors would be needed to give viable answer to question does ejaculation really lower chances of prostate cancer. Such study would be extremely difficult if not impossible to do. But as it stands, results of current studies have too serious methodological deficiencies to be taken seriously.

 

Thanks @kropo82, my original criticism was about the preliminary paper - hadn't seen this later paper. Will read it carefully and give my thoughts. Great find.

 

TBH I still have not got around to this yet. I will though. I also plan to put an entry into my own journal in the not-to-distant future discussing a variety of papers that give pros- and cons- to a PMO free lifestyle, and this is one of them, so will probably do this at the same time? At the moment I have been focusing on reading around hunter gatherer tribes in relation to masturbation.
